The 30th Street bike lane was added to support the expansion of San Diego’s bike transportation network. The bike lane was intended to create a protected space for bikers to commute. However, nearly all of the protective bollards are damaged or missing due to vehicles running them over. Additionally, drivers often misunderstand the breaks in the bike lane, leading to cars and trucks entering the lane and endangering bikers.
The bike lane has also created issues for trash pickup. Many homes along 30th Street are missed due to driver confusion over new routes or because trash bins placed for pickup are moved by passing cars or annoyed bikers.
For homes along the bike route now without parking, issues arise for parents with small children needing to load and unload cars. Houses requiring repairs or landscape maintenance cannot provide parking accommodations for work to occur.
The project seems poorly planned, compromising residential parking and trash services, and creating safety issues for bikers. A more effective solution could have been a single, well-protected lane on one side of the street rather than lanes on both sides.
